Feyenoord (h) pre-match thread

[Hungarian blue]

Must be playing in the youth game this afternoon

If he plays then he plays (I wouldn't be surprised as he was injured and only played a half on saturday for the EDS, and also it's not like we have injuries on the attacking front right now), but he is eligible to play for the senior team in CL.

Let's see the score at HT. If we are leading by about six or seven, then PhilFo can have the second half!

Catalan newspaper Sport reckons both Foden and Brahim starts.

We need to start with the strongest team possible, get a few goals up, then the likes of Diaz and Foden, will be able some minutes under their belt, if they are in the squad. There is no point in playing a weakened team in this game, we need to make sure we win and finish top of the group. Then with a bit of luck et one of the weaker teams in the last 16 draw.

Not true feyenoord will rest a few as they have nothing to play for and our 2nd team will comfortable beat there's

So you're happy for the likes of Delph, De Bruyne, Fernandinho, Silva, Sterling and Sane to all start 3 games in the space of 7 days? Even though we have more than capable back ups.

We need to rotate for this game. We might have plenty of options now but lose a couple of players and we will struggle. Particularly defensively.

Bravo
Danilo
Otamendi
Mangala
Walker
Yaya
Gundogan
Bernardo
Foden
Aguero
Diaz (unless low on fitness).

The start of a long run of games in a short space of time so need to rotate. A game we want to win but no reason we cant with those players and they need to be making a case for their inclusion. We have had a settled first 11 for a while and to avoid complacency the squad players need to come in and force Pep to consider them.

We can still beat Feyenoord and then completely rest the first 11 for Shakhtar before we play the derby. They can stay home and be fresh.

How many Feyenoord fans expected for the game today? Any issues expected in town? what kind of reputation do they have?
